Hon. Baboucarr Bouy made this statement on Monday October 7, 2024 during the official opening of a two-day validation workshop of his ministry’s Strategic Plan 2024-2028 at Metzy Hotel.
He explained that his ministry’s strategic plan is anchored on three key pillars namely: Administrative Reforms, Strategy and Policy Coordination and Performance Management and Delivery.
These pillars, he added, are designed to support the overarching goal of enhancing efficiency, effectiveness and accountability within the public sector, adding that the validation of MoPS plan was pivotal.
He therefore explained that their task will not just be limited to assessing the contents of the plan but also to ensure that the final products reflect the collective realities of public service and the aspirations of its stakeholders.
According to Minister Bouy, the future of public service and by extension the country depends on his ministry’s ability to lay a solid foundation for a responsive, accountable and efficient public service that truly serves the people and can stand the test of time in an ever changing national and global environment.
“Our public service must also leverage on the opportunities offered by technology so that our citizens can benefit from better public services,” said minister Bouy.
He informed that his ministry was established in 2022 with the mandate of reorganising the public service, coordinating the development and administration of policies and systems aimed at creating a responsive public service delivery.
“This validation should provide an opportunity for us to collectively scrutinize and refine the strategies embedded in the plan by ensuring that they are aligned with core values of highly performing civil service and grounded in the principles of meritocracy, fairness and responsiveness to the needs of our people,” minister Bouy concluded.
